SEO Specialist CV example

What to include in a seo specialist cv: relevant evidence, skills, sample achievement structures and template suggestions.

A useful starting point

Show a ranking or organic-traffic result you can defend, plus the work (tech, content, links). Two pages. Skip “I know algorithms”. Skip this if you only posted blogs with no measurement — that is a content-writer CV.

These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.

Evidence to consider

  • Organic metric
  • Tech SEO if you did it
  • Content or digital PR
  • Tools

Illustrative achievement bullets

  • Lifted 18 commercial URLs into the top 3 for target terms in 7 months
  • Cut index bloat 40% by fixing faceted crawl waste
  • Briefed 24 articles; 15 earned featured-snippet positions
  • Built a Looker Studio organic pack used in monthly board marketing

Relevant skills to substantiate

Technical SEO · Content briefs · GA4 · Search Console · Crawling tools · Digital PR

What to leave out

  • Guaranteed rank-1 claims
  • Photos
  • Black-hat tactics as a flex

Frequently asked questions

Should I include a traffic graph?

No image. State the percentage and the date range. Be ready to show the dashboard in interview.

Do I list every tool?

Screaming Frog, Ahrefs or Semrush if true — not both if you only used one.

One page?

Two once you have a few years. Juniors can fit one.
